Klopp not even thinking about Liverpool return for AC Milan striker Balotelli

Balotelli endured a terrible debut season at Liverpool and was swiftly offloaded to Milan on loan at the start of the current campaign by manager Brendan Rodgers, with many believing that the Italian's career on Merseyside was over.

With Rodgers being replaced by Jurgen Klopp, Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola recently hinted that the 26-year-old could head back to Liverpool in the summer but the Reds boss has stated that a return for the Italian firebrand has not even crossed his mind.

Klopp said: "At this moment I don't have the time or capacity to think about things for next summer.

"Maybe we will have a talk but it is nothing I can think about in this moment."
